Thankfully the Maeda start is the ascent part of the Dodgers' pitching roller coaster. Kershaw, then Kazmir, then Maeda gives one whiplash. Kazmir is the part where the guy in front of you pukes. Maeda, on the other hand, hasn't given up an earned run yet and is a welcome relief thus far as the rotation continues to....well, rotate. I had the pleasure of watching him pitch for the first time in the home opener; he was poised and confident, looked like he'd done his homework on opposing batters, and was ready to play defense and to swing the bat. Let's hope he does all those things again today.

Dammit, Maeda struggling to find the strike zone. He gets out of it, but an ominous start.
Props to ESPN for that great Vin tribute/retrospective. Loved him reading the grocery list.
Fuck these bullshit weak giants hits.
JOC-ED!!!! 2-1 Good

Pretty sweet defensive play by Maeda (which the ESPN team is admiring as well)

Hatcher gets a K for the first out
48,911 at the Stadium, which still looks pretty packed. Well done, Dodger fans!
Span grounds weakly to short. Two out.
fly out to right. 3-1 LA, mid 8.
Hatch looked good though I wonder how long it's gonna take for me to feel like I don't have to hold my breath the whole time he's out there.
Geez, Turner. They go to Kontos with two out in the eighth just to face you, and you swing on the first pitch to fly out to short? Hmm.
3-1 through 8.
Hi karen! I agree
Leadoff single for Oyster.
Pence with a slow chopper to short forces Oyster Pubes. One out.
weak mis-hit from Belt pops to second base, for the second out.
is it just me, or is Kenley's windup even slower than ever?
